I caught a Pokémon

"Aladdin is unable to battle, Metal Monster wins the first round!"

Just as he finished speaking, MetalGreymon's body was suddenly enveloped in a white light, and this sudden change made everyone present realize that this Pokémon had evolved at that moment!

This was indeed good news for Xia You.

Since capturing MetalGreymon, it has been on a journey for some time now, participating in many battles, both solo and group battles, and finally evolved today.

This also means that, apart from Eevee which has not yet evolved, all of his Pokémon have reached their final forms, and their strength has been enhanced once again.

The white light disappeared quickly.

A Pokémon that looked even more menacing than MetalGreymon appeared before the people.

This is the next form of MetalGreymon's evolution—Metamorphosis!

The Metagross is a combination of two metallic monsters. It is blue-green in color and resembles a UFO or lander. It has thick legs extending from four directions of its body, red eyes, and most impressively, an "X"-shaped silver metal cross on its face.

Xiaoxia, who was in the audience, was naturally happy for Xia You when she saw the evolved Pokémon. However, since she didn't know much about it, she took out her Pokédex and pointed it at Metagross.

Almost immediately after aiming, the Pokédex responded.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Ding, Metagross, Iron-footed Pokémon, Steel/Psychic type. According to research, Metagross is composed of four brains connected together, forming a complex neural network. It is a Pokémon that is smarter than a supercomputer. Through the parallel processing of its four brains, it can complete any calculation in an instant. It can analyze and defeat opponents with computing power that surpasses that of a supercomputer. It can also fold its four legs to float in the air and fly. In addition to its psychic abilities, it is also proud of its superhuman strength. It can use its four legs to grab prey and use its claws to immobilize its opponent. It is said that when the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius, its magnetic force is enhanced, so Metagross that inhabits the snowy mountains is particularly energetic."

Compared to Xia You's joyful mood, Naqi on the other side was undoubtedly filled with helplessness.

After all, the other party evolved by building upon his own failures, so it was impossible for him to empathize with him.

Shaking her head, Naki stopped looking at him and silently recalled her Altaria, then took out a second Poké Ball from her pocket.

As she threw the Poké Ball, a Pelipper appeared in the sky above the battlefield the next second.

From the corner of his eye, Xia You also noticed the appearance of the Pelipper, which brought his thoughts back to the battlefield.

However, he did not change the Pokémon, but left Metagross there to continue fighting.

After all, Metagross hadn't suffered any damage in the battle just now and still had the strength to fight. Moreover, because it had just evolved, it wasn't very familiar with its body yet, so it could use this kind of competition to adapt to its new body and new abilities as quickly as possible.

Naqi was not surprised by Xia You's choice.

She could naturally tell that this Pokémon was indeed quite powerful. Even though it had only just evolved, its foundation was already there, making it a very troublesome opponent.

However, there was also good news for her: her Pelipper was a Water/Flying type, and Metagross's Steel-type moves would have half the power when they hit Water-type Pokémon. Now, the situation had completely reversed!

The two Pokémon arrived at their respective preparation areas, and with the referee's command once again, the second round of the match officially began.

There's not much to say about this match. Pelipper is just as strong as Altaria from before, especially since it doesn't have to worry about Steel-type attacks and can focus all its attention on guarding against Psychic-type moves.

When facing Metagross's psychic attacks, the Peacock chose to fly around erratically and use water guns to maneuver around it, and launched counterattacks when Metagross showed weaknesses or gaps in its attacks.

Xia You did not give any command or orders during this battle.

In fact, since he had already won one battle, the outcome of this one was not important to him. He could take this opportunity to see what kind of strength Metagross could unleash without a commander, and at least get a sense of its power.

Under these circumstances, Pelipper and Metagross were evenly matched in their battle.

It's clear that this beak's most impressive, or rather its most skillful, trick is the back-and-forth between its long-range water cannons and its close-range steel wings.

This alternating attack, both at long and short range, did cause Metagross some trouble. However, as the Pokédex describes, Metagross is quite intelligent. After only enduring two attacks, it seemed to have figured out Pelipper's pattern. Just as Pelipper was about to use the same trick again, Metagross used several of its claws to firmly restrain Pelipper!

This unexpected turn of events startled Naki, as if she were witnessing the same ending as the previous one once again!

"Publicer Gull, break free quickly!!"

Naki shouted in alarm, but how could Pelipper possibly break free from Metagross's powerful claws?

At first, the beak could flap its wings and struggle a few times with its internal strength, but the Metagross's claws remained motionless. Even when it tried to grab the Metagross with its huge beak, how could it fit into the Metagross's mouth?

As its strength waned, its claws tightened their grip, and after struggling for a while, the big-billed gull's eyes rolled back, and it was strangled unconscious!

The Metagross's eyes flashed red, and even after it had choked its opponent unconscious, it did not stop until the opponent in its arms had completely lost consciousness before it released its claws.

The referee glanced at the screen, shook his head inwardly, and raised the colored flag: "Peacock is unable to battle, Metagross wins!"

The battle was still relatively easy to win, but Metagross was injured after two rounds. It seems that although it still has the strength to fight, if it continues to participate in a third battle, it may end up in a situation where both it and its opponent are injured.

Having discovered its secrets, Xia You didn't hesitate and immediately took it back.

"That's impressive." After losing two matches in such a way, Naki was completely convinced. "And it's clear that your MetalGreymon... oh, I should call it Metagross now, is exceptionally well-trained. My two Pokémon had almost no chance against it."

Even an ordinary person would have noticed, let alone Naki.

This man is definitely not simple!

In response to the compliment, Xia You naturally reciprocated with a flattery: "Your Altaria and Peacock are actually quite formidable. It's just that they were lucky to have met me. If they had met anyone else, they would have caused them a lot of trouble."

Sure enough, upon hearing Xia You's words, Naqi's expression improved considerably, and she smiled, "Well then, this is the last match. Let's see if I can turn the tide!"

It can be said that Naki's attitude has changed significantly after the two matches, compared to before the competition.

This is a recognition of the strong!

Naki took out her third Poké Ball, and as she threw it high into the air, a Shiny Swellow appeared in the sky after a flash of blue light!

"Wow!" Xia exclaimed excitedly from the stands, "It's a blue-green royal swallowtail! I've never seen one before, what a beautiful color!"

Indeed, compared to the usual dark blue giant swallows, this bluish-green giant swallow looks fresher in color, but whether it is more beautiful than the ordinary giant swallow is a matter of opinion.

But one thing is certain: its gaze is just as fierce, and its claws are just as sharp!

What should we use to fight this battle...?

After a slight hesitation, Xia You took out her Milotic.

Actually, if there were other Pokémon that needed training, Xia You would also like to have a battle between Flying-type Pokémon with Nachi in such a high-altitude arena. However, the only Flying-type Pokémon he currently has is Dragonite, and Dragonite is quite strong. If he were to send it out, it would not serve the purpose of training and would be meaningless.

I have to admit, I still don't have enough of my regular Pokémon...

Even though he eventually trained them to be main force level, their attribute deficiencies still left him in a bind at times, preventing him from freely arranging battles.

Fortunately, his trip is not yet halfway through, and there will be many more opportunities in the future.

As the Poké Ball opened, Milotic appeared on the battlefield.

Fortunately, the Pelipper's consecutive water sprays and cannons made the ground beneath it muddy, which was undoubtedly good news for Milotic, which has scales, making it easier for it to move around in such an environment.

In terms of attributes, the two Pokémon do not have any type advantage or disadvantage relationship, which seems to be fairer than the previous two matches. However, this is only a matter of type. If we look at their nature, bird Pokémon seem to have a natural advantage over snake-like Pokémon like Milotic.

Of course, this advantage is only viewed from the perspective of the food chain. In fact, if the weaker party is stronger, it may even be able to kill the predator.

Who can truly say for sure whether something is good or bad, strong or weak?

The two Pokémon, one flying in the sky and the other perched on the ground, looked at each other with a hint of eagerness in their eyes.

Although this scene is very similar to the one just now, the difference in Pokémon means that their fighting styles will change drastically.

At the referee's signal, the third match officially began.

This time, under Xia You's orders, Milotic launched an attack.

It spouted water from its mouth and swept it towards the giant swallow in the sky.

The blue water streaked across the sky in a long straight line, but given the speed of the Giant Swallow, hitting it with such a move would be extremely difficult.

The Great Swan only soared a few times in the air before Milotic's water flow couldn't even catch up with its shadow. Fortunately, Xia You's purpose was not that. Although the water flow failed to hit its opponent, the large amount of water that fell made the battlefield even more humid, and some places even had water accumulation!

Naqi saw through Xia You's intentions at a glance.

I see……

At the same time, her brows furrowed.

So this man was creating a battlefield that would be advantageous to him...

Chapter 750 Collecting Badges

As the ground became increasingly muddy, Milotic moved around the field with greater ease.

Its smooth scales are an advantage in such muddy conditions, making it move faster and allowing it to easily dodge the giant swallow's subsequent dive attacks.

Even when faced with muddy ground, the Great Swallow dared not land too close, nor did it dare to attack easily, for fear of getting mud on its body and affecting its speed.

This also gave King Yan a feeling of having no way to use his strength.

Naqi's opinion of Xia You rose to a new level once again.

This kind of creativity in battle, which is not bound by rigid rules, is very rare and reminded her of the challenger named Ash from a while ago.

Are they the same type of trainer?

Although it no longer dares to dive easily, the Great Swallow is also very good at mid-to-long-range attacks, so this does not have much impact on the battle.

An air blade slashed towards Milotic, and Milotic, not to be outdone, also unleashed a water jet at Swellow. However, the air blade's damage was too high, causing it to break through the water jet and continue slashing towards Milotic.

Milotic remained calm and easily dodged using the slippery ground. The two Pokémon took turns attacking and defending, but neither could find a good way to defeat the other, and they were locked in a stalemate for a while.

"Great King Yan, use the Swallow Return!"

In the end, Naki couldn't bear it any longer and started the variation first.

Seeing the Great Swallow begin to circle in the air, gathering its power, Xia You's gaze also became serious.

The Swallow Return move involves teasing the opponent with agile movements before delivering a slash. It can be said that, given the increased speed of the user and the opponent's distraction, it is a move that is almost guaranteed to hit the opponent under normal circumstances.

To deal with such an attack, the situation needs to be made unusual.

"Milanos, use Tornado!"

At his command, Milotic unleashed a tornado, instantly creating a spiraling gust of wind on the battlefield, whipping up mud and water that not only filled the air but also splashed everywhere.

The situation on the battlefield has become more complicated.

Obscured by the tornado, the giant swallow lost track of Milotic and its flight was also affected by the air currents and the splashing mud.

However, the fact that Naki was able to send out the Great Swan in the last match shows that its strength and experience are beyond question. Although the tornado did have some impact on it, like those aerial predators, it also has extremely good patience. For it, this is not a problem. Since the tornado exists, it can just wait for the dragon whirlwind to disappear on its own!

Anyway, it has plenty of patience and can afford to wait!

I must say, this was undoubtedly the right choice.

The short wait did pay off. Just a dozen seconds later, as the tornado's power gradually weakened and had not yet completely dissipated, it suddenly seized the opportunity, swooping down at an extremely fast speed, using a backflip, and tracing a right-angled trajectory right in front of Menas!

Milotic was knocked back and fell to the ground. By the time it got up and tried to retaliate, Swellow had already returned to the air.

Seeing the wounds on Milotic's body, Xia You sighed at how troublesome this Swellow was, but calmly said, "Milotic, use Recover!"

Milotic let out a soft cry and was immediately enveloped in a faint white light. In that instant, most of its wounds were healed.

Everything seemed to have returned to how it was before.

Overall, however, whether it's the tornado or self-regeneration, Milotic undoubtedly consumes more energy than Swellow, which seems to give Naki a glimmer of hope for victory.

"Excellent!" Having succeeded in her attack, Naki had no reason to stop and shouted, "Great King Swan, let's do it again!"

For Xia You, the fact that the tornado had no effect made him realize how difficult it was to deal with Swellow. Seeing that Nagi wanted to use the same trick again, he had an idea and immediately had Milotic use the tornado again.

A tornado exactly the same as the one that had just formed formed again on the battlefield.

Upon seeing this, not only Xiaoxia in the audience but also Naqi, her opponent, frowned.

Ok?

It clearly didn't work at all, so why is it happening again?

Is there no other way?

Or are you still unwilling to give up and want to try again?

Just as the two were wondering, Xia You gave his answer.

At the very moment the tornado formed, Milotic charged directly into it at his command!

Within seconds of being swept up by the tornado, Milos was already high in the sky!

However, as it fell, Milotic twisted its body, adjusted its direction and posture in mid-air, and landed towards Swellow.

It turned out to be the case.

Having read this far, Naki understood everything.

It must be that this man saw that Swellow wasn't engaging Milotic in close combat, so he deliberately moved closer to Swellow in this way!

The idea is good, but it's too simplistic!

The sky is the main battlefield for flying Pokémon. Without the moist soil, Milotic can't move at all when it flies in the air. Isn't it just a sitting duck?

You asked for this!
